The expanded programme was inspired by the success of its Antarctic Peninsula sailing earlier this year

The operator will offer an eight-day Svalbard expedition over 17-24 August 2027 followed by a 12-day Antarctic Peninsula sailing from 11-22 March 2028. Both voyages will operate onboard Discoverer, the newest addition to the Polar Latitudes fleet.

The Svalbard itinerary, North to the Midnight Sun, will sail round-trip from Longyearbyen and head towards the northern pack ice, with wildlife and landing opportunities including a polar bear habitat, walrus sites and seabird cliffs.
